TENSION ADJUSTMENTThread Tension: The thread tension should be adjusted accord-ing to sewing materials, layers of fabric. To tighten, turn Tension Screw clockwise; and loosen the tension by turning counter-clockwise.

(1) As Fig. A shown, it is the normal stitches, which the top thread and Bottom thread are neat and uniform. The tension is just right!

(2) As Fig. B shown, if the bottom threading looks like a straight line, which indicates the top thread is too loose. Please turn the Tension Screw clockwise to increase pressure (until it is neither too tight nor too loose).

(3) As Fig. C shown, when the top thread looks like a straight line, it indicates the thread is too tight. Please slowly turn the Tension Screw counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure until the stitch is back to normal.

Note: If the fabric is too thin/ thick/ slippery/ hard, it will cause: skipped stitches, thread breaking, pucker or forming loops, and tension adjustment cannot help that, you should change the fabric. Please kindly note that this is just a small domestic sewing machine.

Applicable fabrics: Jean, Cotton fabric, Felt, Polypropylene cloth, thin Leather, etc.
